The spatial deconcentration of immigration towards non‐metropolitan areas in France (1975–2015)

“…While the literature on immigration to non-metropolitan areas in France specifically has been strongly segmented by field (rural studies vs. migration studies), geographic area, and type of migration, this type of segmentation can also be seen in research on other western countries. For example, research on the migration of seasonal or posted workers (Crenn, 2013;Fonseca, 2008;Hedberg & Pettersson, 2012;Jentsch et al, 2007;Morén-Alegret, 2008) is rarely linked with research on the amenity migration of Northern Europeans (Buller & Hoggart, 1994;Pistre, 2012) or the migration of refugees into rural areas (Bonerandi, 2008;Bonerandi et al, 2004;Hubbard, 2005). Starting from this hypothesis of the joint, or even linked, nature of different migratory dynamics in non-metropolitan spaces in connection with the overall process of globalisation, this article argues that the spatial dynamics produced by all immigrant groups in non-metropolitan areas in France should be analysed together.…”
